And even ignoring the token costs, that is just not true.

Sure, for some cases, the cost is going down. I and others on my team "one-shotted" impressive features in an hour of agent work that would have taken humans probably a month if done completely manually.

I've also seen agents going in circles for an hour on a fix that would have taken even a junior 3 minutes to get right (after it was struggling for 10 minutes, I wanted to see if it can ever get it right as an experiment).

And when taking a look at the whole organization, orgs still just aren't really shipping that much more quality features to their users as the impressive one-shot demos would make you think.

Writing code was never the bottleneck at large enterprises.

Nor was product quality the goal. Principal agent problems abound. The large org's behavior follows the thousandfold incentive gradients of the individual employees in their own career, CV building, promotion paths, budget allocation, etc.
